In the past few weeks, I have tested different JVM settings for my Glassfish server. The main settings for the heap (among others) are: -Xms512m, -Xmx512m, -XX: NewRatio = 2. I tried using various GC settings, but I still have problems with long pauses several days after the server starts up. I noticed the following:
1. -XX: + UseParallelGC -XX: + UseParallelOldGC - the junior GC occurred approximately every minute, the main GC every 18 hours. I had no problems with a small GC, but there were problems with the main GC after 5 days. At first, the main pauses of the GC lasted about 100-200 ms, but at the end the last pause lasted 70 seconds.
2. -XX: + UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX: + UseParNewGC - almost the same as above. Minor GCs were perfect, but large GCs (incomplete) pauses became very long. I noticed problems with high-end unloading at the GC (CMS Final Remark) stage, which stops the world stage.
3. -XX: + UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX: + UseParNewGC and -XX: MaxGCPauseMillis = 5000. I only tested it for one day, because the second main GC last (not full) lasted about 20 seconds, so I thought that something else is wrong.
4. -XX: + UseG1GC, -XX: MaxGCPauseMillis = 5000, -XX: + UseStringDeduplication without -XX: option NewRatio = 2 - the main GC (not complete) happens every 12 hours, I already noticed some problems: <br / " >
